Our Darker Joys Exhibit at the Cambridge Art Association has been up one week and it is fantastic. I am a huge fan of the other artists I am showing with. The work is wild and vibrant and full of energy and loaded with color. Make sure you visit their sites! Katie Lane, Stephanie Todhunter and Keith Maclelland.

As an extra bonus the artists are wonderful people and I loved working with them. I will be sad when the show is over.

But you wanted to hear about the Twinkies, right?

During the Darker Joys Artists Reception we served Cheez Whiz on crackers, Ho-hos, Twinkies, Snoballs, and Hostess Cupcakes. Don’t worry! Of course we also had candy necklaces, ring pops and Doritos. We’re not MONSTERS, you know. To drink? Wine, seltzer and beer. But to really bring out the Twinkie magic you want to chock back that immortal pastry with Pabst Blue Ribbon, of course!

I overheard a woman saying, “This is the BEST reception food I’ve ever had!.” So stick THAT in your fancy canape, Eloise.
